[QUOTE="35years, post: 4931389, member: 60822"] Let's face it... The human body is not built to do hard physical work in a 140 degree truck 11 hours a day. (NBC had drivers record temps over 150). No amount of hydration will keep your body from suffering in those conditions. Hydration is only one piece. Slow down. Open your back door every 5 to 10 minutes to air out. Never push yourself. Take multiple cool down "breaks". It should take you an hour+ more to do your job in the heat. Don't be afraid to drive miles to air conditioning. If they harrass you, so what! It is about survival on high heat days. I keep a cooler loaded with ice + water and 2 towels for soaking my head with ice water. A gallon water jug completely frozen for ice cold water all day along with iced electrolyte drinks. [/QUOTE]
